Hi everyone. I've been having chest pain and tightness as well as left arm pain and discomfort for a few days now. This all started when I got really mad and emotional about something and then the symptoms started happening so of course I thought about heart attack. I'm 22 and overweight( thanks Lexapro :curse:). I know my age is young but the fat I put on from weight gain worries me. Soooo I am in the middle of cross-tapering from Lexapro to Viibryd which my new psychiatrist suggested since Viibryd is supposedly weight neutral.
So I'm wondering if this is just from anxiety? I've had this sensation before when I had a big panic attack in college, did and EKG and everything was fine back then. I'm thinking of going to the doctor to get an EKG again. I have to go and do my annual check up and blood work anyways so couldn't hurt to ask? Idk this is just frustrating me. Perhaps this is from withdrawal from the Lexapro? Anyone have any experiences with chest pain or shallow breath when weaning off of meds?
